Question

A body throws a ball to his friend $20 m$ away. The ball reaches to the friend in $4 s$ . The friend then throws the ball back to boy and it reaches the boy in $5 s$

The average velocity is

\frac{40}{9} m s^{- 1}

Solution

The correct option is C The average velocity is zero but average acceleration is non zero.
As net displacement is zero, so average velocity is zero but average acceleration is non-zero since $g$ acts on ball

A boy throws a ball up and catches it when the ball falls back. In which part of the motion the ball is accelerating?

A boy while playing wanted to throw a ball of mass 200g atop such that it could reach his friend, who is standing at a height of 5m from ground. Frustrated with repetitive failures, he managed to find a spring and compressed it to develop certain potential energy so that ball could reach his friend. Estimate the work done by the boy such that the ball just reaches his friend (take 'g' = 10 m/s²).

Q. A boy throws a ball upwards with velocity

v_{0} = 20 {m s}^{- 1}

. The wind imparts a horizontal acceleration of

4 {m s}^{- 2}

to the left. The angle

θ

at which the ball must be thrown so that the ball returns to the boy's hand is (

g = 10 {m s}^{- 2}

)

A boy walks from his classroom to the bookshop along a straight corridor towards North. He covers a distance of 20 m is 25 seconds to reach the bookshop. After buying a book, he travels the same distance at the same time to reach back in the classroom. Find (a) average speed, and (b) average velocity, of the boy.
